Elegant Themes Blog

Stay up to date with our most recent news and updates

Last year we launched Divi 1.0, and it quickly became our most popular theme. In fact, it is now used more than all of our other themes combined. It was obvious from the start that we had created something that our community found extremely useful, but we knew that we could make it better. The day after Divi 1.0 was released, our team set out to expand upon our most powerful and flexible theme ever. With a grand total of 3 unique section types, 20 column structures, and 33 robust modules, we are extremely proud and excited to finally introduce Divi 2.0. This version is a seamless update to the current Divi, still giving you the the ability to build each page from the ground up with an even more advanced page builder.

Divi has been almost a year in the making, and we can’t wait to see the amazing websites that our customers create from it. Never before have we spent this much time focusing on a single theme, and the result is a product that is significantly more expansive, fine-tuned and user-friendly than anything else in our collection. With double the modules, double the layout structures, and double the theme options, Divi 2.0 gives “countless possibilities” a whole new meaning.

Divi Drag & Drop Page Builder

The Divi Page Builder has seen some amazing improvements, including the ability to duplicate a module, row, or section, and an all new Specialty Section that introduces 9 new column structures.

Page Builder Updates

The major updates to the Page Builder are the ability to Clone any section, row, or module, and the introduction of Specialty Sections

The Clone Tool

The Divi Builder now gives you the ability to duplicate any element along with all of its settings, perfect for creating multiple modules that share common properties.

New Specialty Sections

Specialty Sections give you additional levels of vertical division, that essentially allow you to place columns within columns. These are especially useful for creating dynamic sidebar layouts.

Standard Row Types

Specialty Row Types

All New Header Options

Divi’s header options allow you to choose the color of your header, the placement of your logo, add an accent bar for social and contact information, and even choose between horizontal and vertical navigation. Divi 2.0 has also introduced a new secondary navigation location.

Vertical Navigation

Alongside the brand new header options, you can also change the orientation of your entire navigation to be vertical. Choosing this setting will place your navigation on the left-hand side of your page as in the examples below. This, combined with our new header options, allows you to create some truly unique websites that look and feel completely different from each other.

Centered Logo

You can now arrange the position of your logo to be centered above your navigation items. This options is great for larger logos and primary navigation that has a lot of menu items.

Boxed Layout

Now you can choose to contain your website in a boxed layout. With this setting enabled, you can define a website background photo, color, or pattern.

Create Menu-less Landing Pages

Divi is now one of the best tools you can use for creating standalone landing pages. In Divi 2.0, we have introduced the blank page option, which can remove the header and footer areas from any individual page. These standalone pages can be used for all sorts of great applications, such as a sales landing page, a maintenance mode page, a countdown/coming-soon page, and so much more.

Fully Responsive

No matter how you use it, no matter how you view it, your website is going to look great. Taking Divi on the go feels like you never left. All of Divi’s new features and modules have been built with responsiveness in mind.

Stunning Projects & Portfolios

With Divi’s portfolio modules, you can show off your work anywhere on your site in a variety of new ways. You can even build your project pages with the builder!

Portfolio Updates

Major portfolio updates include Fullwidth Portfolios and Filtered Portfolios

Fullwidth Portfolio

Now your portfolios take advantage of Divi’s Fullwidth Sections. Your fullwidth portfolios can be displayed in a fluid grid (above), or horizontal carousel.

Filtered Portfolio

With the filterable portfolio, users can view a grouping of projects from a selected category.

WooCommerce Ready

Divi has what you need to get an online store up and running in no time. We’ve included a couple of new pre-made store layouts in Divi 2.0, and the store module lets you sell anywhere on your site.

Down To Business

Need a professional looking site for your business? Look no further. Divi’s wide range of business savvy modules lets you easily create serious yet modern looking designs.

Gorgeous Blog Layouts

Divi comes with various blog layouts to choose from. Using Divi’s builder you can place blog posts anywhere within your website.

Pre-Made Layouts

Divi 2.0 introduces a completely new set of Pre-Made Layouts. We have spent more time to make sure that these layouts are a great starting point for anyone who wants to use Divi to build their website. Pre-made layouts can be loaded to pre-populate any page builder with a set of pre-defined modules built for a specific purpose.

Save & Load Layouts

In the case of wanting to use a layout in another area of your site, you can choose to save your layout, and load it into any other page.

Export Layouts

Yup, you can even export your saved layouts for use on a completely different website that is using the Divi Theme!

33 Robust Modules

Modules are building blocks that allow you to add content to your website. When combining different modules with different row structures the design possibilities are countless. In Divi 2.0, we have introduced several new modules, and we have updated many of our classic modules as well.

Brand New Divi Modules

In 2.0 we have introduced 13 brand new modules that will greatly expand upon what was previously possible with Divi. New modules are indicated by a green circle above. Below are some examples of the additions.

Image Gallery

Now you can create a collection of images without having to make projects and portfolios. Clicking on an image will open up a full sized lightbox and you can even choose to show your gallery as an image slider.

Audio Player

Sharing audio looks great in Divi. You can even upload album or track art to be displayed along side the Divi audio player.

Login Field

If you are using WordPress as a membership system, then adding a login form directly to a page can be quite useful. Now you don’t need to send your members or contributors to the WordPress login form. Try using your own branded form instead, designed in the clean Divi style.

Fullwidth Portfolio

Your portfolios can now take advantage of Divi’s fullwidth sections.

Filtered Portfolio

Give your visitors the power to filter through your project categories with the all new filtered portfolio module

Animated Counters

We have added two more counter modules to the list. Animated pie charts and number counters are a fun way to inform and engage your visitors.

Countdown Timer

Let your visitors know when something is going to be launched or an event is going to occur with the new countdown module

Person

This module allows you to highlight your clients, your customers and/or the team members that help make your company a reality.

Accordion

Similar to the toggles module, this is a great way to consolidate information. As you open a toggle, the active one closes.

Map

Letting your visitors know where you are is a great feature for a contact or about page. The map module is even compatible with Divi’s Fullwith Sections!

Social Media Follow

Social media is more important than ever and it is important that you are able build your social following. You can even choose your shape and colors!

Fullwidth Menu

Now you can place navigation menus anywhere on your page, great for adding a secondary menu further down your page.

Divi Module Updates

Almost every module has been refined in 2.0 to some extent, but the highlights below show some of the biggest module improvements.

Subscribe Form

The subscribe module now supports MailChimp, AWeber, and Feedburner.

Blurbs & ElegantIcons

Divi blurbs now harness the full power of our ElegantIcon pack. Choose from over 350 icons to use in your blurbs either above or to the left of your content.

Testimonials

You can now add a testimonial portrait image, choose your background color, and even define the attributor’s position and company name.

Contact Form

Contacts forms have undergone a layout update that is more responsive and visually compatible with other modules.

Images

Images can now be clicked on and opened up in a lightbox for a full scale viewing experience.

New & Improved Documentation With Over 50 In-Depth Video Tutorials

We have spent a lot of time making sure that Divi is well documented and easy to use. With 50 tutorials, each with full length video walkthroughs accompanied by full length articles, everything you need to know about Divi can be found n once place.

Divi Is More Than Just A Theme

It has been a long journey. We have worked more on this theme than any other product, and I truly believe that it has paid off. This single theme can be used in so many amazing ways, to create such a wide array of websites. Divi does more on its own than all of our other themes combined, and with the freedom to control every aspect of your page.

This isn’t just a theme, it’s a new website-building foundation that will make you re-think how you design websites. For web developers, this is a tool that greatly increases efficiency and improves workflow. For a novice website owner, Divi makes it easy to build complex and highly customizable websites like never-before.

I have a problem with the home page construction, I chose a slider with several photos and with every image in every slide I add a gallery to them , so it means for example 5 different pages with 5 different galleries, but when I save and publish all and view the web in all photos which are sliding I see only one gallery. and I except that with presenting every photo i see different gallery on it. would you please let me what is the problem and how can I solve it. Thanks
Farhad

This actually looks great. I have been editing another theme and having some challenges and I think I may just switch it over and try divi instead. It looks like some of the bells and whistles you have included could take care of my problems!

Now that’s a chunk of extremely useful stuff under one hood of a theme! One of the features of Divi 2.0 that rapidly caught my eye was definitely the possibility to fiddle with additional, speciality row types.
In general – sounds like a true masterpiece to me.

I’d be also interested with playing Soundcloud tracks within the (so cool) Divi audio player. I tested both using embed code and regular url, but it doesn’t work.
I just watched the post format tutorial here :http://elegantthemes.com/gallery/divi/tutorial-post-formats.html
And from what I see in the video, I guess that Audio post formats works only with uploaded audio files in the media library, but not from external platforms. Could you please confirm that ?

I just started using Divi last week, and already a major update. Awesome!

I’m new to WordPress and spent a lot of time looking for a theme that provides the appearance and functionality I want. When I stumbled across Divi I immediately knew I had found what I was looking for.

I am following you as a customer since 2009 and it is a pleasure to see how your grow so much…
I can not look another wp themes elegantthemes belongs to other universe … and now with DIVI 2 everybody can understand what I am talking about …
CONGRATULATIONS
And THANK YOU VERY much for such awesome work.
Well done.

Wooohooo! We’ve been holding off from re-doing our own website as well as a new client’s website until divi2 was released. Congratulations to Nick and the ET team for getting everything done on time. So excited that we can finally start getting our hands dirty on some divi2 awesomeness!

Congratulation! A perfect job has been done. The more people know about advantages based on page builders, the better WordPress world becoming, very nice!!! … As i heard by chance, http://www.Ait-themes.club will help also … just in a few days :).

I must say that I was skeptical since you have not released any other theme. But this, THIS, is awesome!

Thanks for such a wonderful theme.

I have one question, however, and maybe it has been answered in another post but, is Divi aiming to be a framework or something like that? I mean, like a competitor to Genesis or Thesis in a user friendly fashion?

Or is it a whole other thing since emphasis is more on design and usability than performance? Speaking of which, I need to run this on GTMetrix.

This looks great! Divi 1 made me look like I almost know what I’m doing with my website (I don’t). My content is severely lacking, but it looks good. Divi 2 looks like I can really take that up a few notches – though it’s unlikely to improve my content

Woooooooooooow guys, this is so wonderfull that I´m crying of emotion in front of my desk, wonderfull work, every single thing I wanted to see its there and some more that I never thinked on.
Seriously you are great!!!!!!!

You guys rock!! Really appreciate this coming new ‘baby’ after I used divi to upgrade my client website here check this out http://www.mymekarsemilu.com Now I ‘m pretty sure our future client would love this one! thank you guys

I love Divi, really – the on of the best theme nowadays. Glad to see you changed blog layout options, the mansonry looks great! Redesigned contact form and subscribe form – are teasing website customers even more )
And of course – the new categorized portfolio and image gallery option. You are moving fast forward!

Absolutely amazing. I loved Divi before and can’t wait to start a new site using Divi 2.0. There were a few things that bugged me that are now included. Keep up the fantastic work. You guys are the best!

BETTER, Nick??? I’m sure we can’t imagine getting MORE out of this beautiful layout tool, most of the improvement/additions we were looking for are here, now, thanks a lot Nick!
PS I’m trying to get in touch replying to your message but can’t, probably that was because of the Divi 2 launch, I’ve got plans to include Divi in my new WordPress book with a full chapter about it, besides praising ET themes in other part of the book!

With an update this big, it’s a good idea to test your child theme and make any necessary adjustments, since new main layout elements have been added that will be unstyled in your current child theme.e

It’s nice to see the ‘you need to update’, you click it, and it’s an update to divi 2.0. “Sweet!” I said to myself. My girlfriend said, “What’s sweet?” Then I try to explain why an ‘update’ is so sweet. hahahahahahahah She looked at me like I was crazy. Yet, “Sweet!” it is!

I’m going to go crazy playing with the new modules (www.boulderutah.com) And, I have to design a new paintball website over the next 5 days that will be divi 2 from the get go.

Holy moly…this is amazing…I hadn’t even gotten through the possibilities with Divi 1.0 ‘cuz I was off doing other things. Now look at the endless possibilities for sure. Way to knock it out of the park!

I’m not sure if I’m missing something…but WHERE can we download Divi 2.0? It keeps telling me to click to join and download…I am already a developer. It seems like Divi 1.9 is in the them section…not 2.0. Help

Charlie, I just upgraded my site at http://creativeclickmedia.com and everything was the same until I began changing things around. It should be pretty painless for you to upgrade. The only thing I notice is that my slider images are not perfectly fit anymore but that will just require some minor CSS tweaking. Go ahead and take the plunge!

Thanks Kenny. I am loving this so far. I really appreciate the effort and also the personal attention ET has put forth as well. I have built 3 sites so far using divi. My site: http://creativeclickmedia.com and two client sites http://whatshield.com and http://invessence.com and I have so many new ideas and possibilities I can try now thanks to this update. I also have two more sites planned to use this theme. The minor css tweak I spoke of earlier was easy to resolve so no worries. Thanks Again!

Novice question for you Kenny– I have the original Divi on my wordpress.org site and would love to get the 2.0. I don’t see “update available” on dashboard & I don’t know how to update to 2.0. If it matters, I’ve deleted cache and I work on a Mac. Where could I go to answer this question? I don’t want to be a burden to your time if this is clearly spelled out somewhere.

You will find nice free tools and resources there, such as a page displaying hundreds of real sites using Divi, a Divi Theme Detector, a free plugin developed to easily create Divi child themes, a blog about Divi… and more to come.

Now I´ll have to redesign some things to take advantage of the new features that Divi 2.0 brings!

Actually my Divi Children plugin is finished, but I just wanted to give it a little more testing. If you leave me your email trough the contact page I´ll be glad to send it to you for you to try it by yourself.

Divi (and now 2.0) are such powerful tools for developers and novices alike. If you developed this as a hosted service, I think you could blow away squarespace on price, functionality, and ease-of-use.

So awesome! Been waiting a long time for this update, so I could start working on my site again. I was holding off because I use my own custom box layout, and I didn’t want to do anymore work until the official 2.0 box layout was released. Huzzah!

This is stunning, guys!! It’s clear that a TON of work went into this project, simply by the size of this blog post! Thank you for being such talented perfectionists, and for giving us a truly beautiful theme for our websites. I already have FOUR clients who would like to use Divi, and I know they’re going to be thrilled with this versatile, crisp and modern theme. I hope all of you folks at ET have a big celebration in honor of your fantastic work

Gosh Nick…as an ET “legacy” member (2010), I join the accolades and standing ovations for Divi2.0. Selfishly, we hope our competitors never discover ElegantThemes!

So very proud of you and your team! And super grateful for the thoughtful design with every marketing essential included.

Thanks for doing all the heavy lifting and mindbending
to make the rest of us look like website geniuses.

Bravo, Bravo!

Love the new header options, the integration of the opt-in form with more email systems (adding Get Response anytime soon?), and the amazing new features like audio and testimonial/team member/client highlight options. The EZ-peezee gallery setup and click to enlarge pics choices. A+++ Too many new fabulous gifts in Divi2.0 to mention!

I had no idea web design had reached the heavens but after seeing a comment from Jesus, you know Elegant Designs has received Divi-ne approval for the Divi theme! How appropriate and what more could you ask for?

Yeah, that was hilarious!
When Nick answered “Thanks Jesus” I thought for a moment that he was meaning “Thank God”. It caught my attention, even being a Spaniard myself (the name Jesus is commonly used for men and not only for gods in Spanish speaking countries).

HOLY $MOKES!! Wow talk about a team that’s been hard and focused, detailed and beautiful Work and a #GameChanger here! I’d let me Elegant Themes membership slip a while ago, but Now Def the time to Sign back UP! Seriously, much Much respect to you Nick and the ‘Family’ there, and talk about a #winWIN for all n at such an insane price! So on your demo, every single element I assume designed within Divi (only curious about the Slider with layers and animations, that too?? and didn’t see a basic ‘gallery’ on the demo with click on image and pops up in lightbox, just curious n whipping out my debit card asap) MUCH RESPECT indeed Wow!!

Everything in the demo is built with Divi, though that does not include image and video assets themselves. You can apply video and image backgrounds, but those images and videos are not something that Divi creates. They can be uploaded from your computer into the WordPress media editor.

Oh yeah, no worries on images Nick, actually the only thing wasn’t sure of amongst the hundreds of amazing elements you ROCKED!$ was the third section down, that looping animation couldn’t tell how was done (module or embedded animation or…)? And great job on galleries and the slider that gives so many great easy options, even adding image on top of background and parallax wooo hooo!

Your post on FB announcing the release date for Divi 2.0 is what prompted me to check Divi out in the first place. Purchased it the same day! Very excited to learn about and play with all of the new features. Thank you!

(nvrmnd I see the gallery options, NICE… just can’t get over the detail work you all put in on literally every single element, and variety of header options, just 897 plus ha elements perfected) Truly Amazing across the board and even on mobile, just #TopNotch!!

I would love to have a module where customers can provide feedback about the website / company / products / other suggestions in the form of multiple choice (a, b, c or Yes/No) or input fields, if possible. : )

Otherwise, I cannot believe how wonderful this theme is. It has so many possibilities! I can’t wait to try it.

I am just learning how to design a website, but this theme will help make any website look great!

Definitely migrating from Vertext to Divi now!….
The only thing I am worried about is the Gallery Grid Module… How powerful is it? Will it handle an average of 15-40 images per Blog Post, posting 5 x per month? (Images hosted externally possible?)

Thanks Nick, thanks Kenny and the whole team.
I feel it like a gift regarding all the work that have been done !
It’s far more work than what can be seen.
Divi 2.0 is not a “new product” in your conception but just an update ! o_O

Just spent several days carefully comparing and choosing the theme for a major update to one of my existing ET sites (it took waaay longer than when I choose for clients LOL). I looked at hundreds of theme, including non-ET options, finally settling on Divi. Spent some quality time into the wee hours last night looking into what features I want to use, including parallax and the “Case Study” page layout. Utterly thrilled to have the new update here on the very day I start the build out! Yay! Love the 2.0 additions. This has fulfilled way beyond expectations and will make the site switch even better than anticipated. Thx, Nick!

There are still links on your site to info about the social sharing module so i guess that got cut last minute. Shame. I was pretty excited about the follower counts on the follow buttons too since I have have 1million+ followers it would have looked really cool…… I hope you guys add that at a later date.

I just built a Divi 1 site the other day and found myself thinking “Man, if I could put a login box as part of the elements it would be great” and “I wish the animated progress bar would let me use numbers”.

Amazing, the best continues to get better and now I struggle to find a reason to use any other theme. Thanks guys!

Wow Nick and team! You guys keep amazing me. If someone in this business is overdelivering in value for money, it is you guys. You guys should be very proud of yourselves and your 2.0 version of Divi. I am proud to be a client of your company for all those years already and with the recent changes I am observing (more service on the blog, this update, etc.) I don’t think I will ever use anything else than your product. And seeing the amount of comments in such a short period of time, I think pretty much all your clients feel the same way! Thanks for your service! It is awesome!

I don’t want to sound ungrateful, this is incredible what you guys have done here, but speaking as a professional photographer I was SUPER excited about the gallery module. Unfortunately it falls a long way short of other options since it expands the image to fit the dimension of the frame instead of adding borders around it. I’d love to see you guys give us an option on that because no photographer wants to lose control of their image and have it cropped on the sides. It also doesn’t really work for showing portrait orientation images. Essentially the only way to work with it is to output your own images already with a border around them and size them to the aspect and dimensions of your gallery modules. Definitely needs a little more flexibility in this for a future update.

Love the updated version (but I loved the original too).
This theme is so versatile and I love the new multi-colour options for the social media icons – inevitable really!!
Also the easy integration with Aweber and the options to have the navigation menu in different places and the simple, branded Membership site option as I’m just about to develop a couple of Membership sites.
In fact, I can’t find anything I don’t like!!!

I don’t normally comment on…anything…but I have been so excited for this and literally waiting for months after seeing 1.0 while researching for a potential client build. Wow, cannot wait to give this a spin…this is the cleanest, most well-designed theme I’ve ever seen which is why I originally fell in love…mad props from a designer! I know what it’s like to spend hours combing through themes that don’t look gross or like themes. Nice work, team. <3

Bravo!!! Thanks to the team that craft out this sterling top-notch theme. Amazingly, what I love in Divi 2.0 are; the menu/navigation manipulation, beautiful carousel portfolio, filtered portfolio, mansonry blog style and you wow me with the blog post format! Hahaha, I Iove it! Furthermore, the save and transport to other page is highly intuitive, the bar counter is amazing and I’m yet to know about the cloning and didn’t see anything about the footer customization.

Truly and I quote from you: “This isn’t just a theme, it’s a new website-building foundation that will make you re-think how you design websites.

Please, introduce the new developer you hired few months back.

Thank you very much, my instinct didn’t fail me when I was searching for a theme club to join. Its been a wow journey. Cheers!

Asa certified WordPress Developer, I test new themes every day. I now use Divi for the majority of my clients because it lets me create beautiful, professional looking sites. And I can make every site look truly uniqie!

Already Divi 1.9 was amazing. I’m simply blown away by 2.0.
I’m in the process of redesigning our company webpage and I’m just glad I chose Divi. It went as easy as 1-2-3 and got immediate approval from my picky boss without any comments. Thanks Guys@ElegantThemes!

I started this website ( http://familianza.com ) yesterday with version 1.9 and update it with version 2.0 some minutes ago. I am very happy with the results and this is the best theme ever! Cant wait to use the other features. My major concern now is to understand how I can have a colored button in the slider with white or black text on it.

I just updated my website to Divi 2.0, I noticed some changes, subtle but elegant, well, what can you expect from Elegant Themes. I love it! You guys are the best. I have been with Elegant Themes for a number of years now and I can only stand in awe and receive the benefit of your accomplishments as well as your excellent help and service in the forums.

Now I have my friends wanting me to build their website for them with the Divi Theme. They think I know what I am doing, little do they know…about the people who really build websites with such excellent Themes.

Thank you for helping me to become a WordPress geek and come alive again through learning and building a website with Elegant Themes and help me fulfill a dream of mine, still in the making.

Unreal!
Have been looking for a Woo-alternate for a while, dabbling in StudioPress and grateful to have jumped on with ET.
Super liking what I see and where the theme is going – very flexible and quite painless to setup.
Congrats on the theme release!

I am in the middle of a project now and about to start a new one in the coming days… both using Divi. So excited to play around with all of the new functionality – seriously *excited*. Divi & the awesome Elegant Themes support team make it FUN to create websites.

I figured out the issue with the main background image. The background color of the sections was set to “#fff” instead of “transparent” so it was basically covering the background image. Here was my fix:

Hi Tommy! Thanks for sharing your discovery. I changed the background color that was in #ffffff to transparent (clear) and it worked. Instead of appearing on a white background wallpaper (on the slide) was all right, as it should be.

You guys did an amazing job! I love all the new modules and flexibility that you built in. This has so far been the most amazing theme to work with and I am now in the process of switching other sites to this theme.

Major kudos to Elegant Themes for your superb offering of themes like this, as well as the other wealth of resources you offer, like your regular blog posts! You are an invaluable destination for WordPress-related support and inspiration, and I can only encourage you to keep on going the way you have.

On note of Divi 2.0, congratulations on your accomplishment, first of all! It looks phenomenal! Out of curiosity, in what ways do you envision using foundational elements of the theme moving forward? For instance, are you inspired to utilize the ever-expanding Divi Builder and module repertoire in all future themes?

And if you would care to share some reflections on your development process, what was a particularly valuable learning moment from developing 2.0?

You guys are amazing and that work on Divi… I just have no words enough to tell how awesome the possibilities it gives are. It was so great to work with Divi 1 yet, now it’s even greater… a pure pleasure to let your imagination drive you to the website you dream. For that, for your work in general and for the support every eleganthemes member has when needed … THANK YOU !

So I go to my website and I see that my theme needs to be updated to Divi 2.0. Since I know Divi 2.0 means something special, but I don’t know what it means for my site. So, I rush over here to discover that Divi 2.0 has indeed been released and that it is utterly fantastic and I am again amazed!

Unfortunately Divi only supports 4col footers at this time. Adding social sharing to individual posts as well as a social sharing module that can be placed within your builder layouts are on the to-do list

Great work by the ET team. I was a novice user of wordpress but now thanks to Elegant Themes everybody thinks I’m an expert!! I look forward to migrating my site from The Professional Theme to Divi 2. Thanks guys.

Michael, creating a specialty section is actually a two step process. So before you add columns, you have to add a specialty section type. The next step contains the X you are speaking of. However, I think we can add the X to the first step as well. Thanks for the suggestion

You will not have to delete the previous version if you are using the Elegant Themes Updater Plugin. Either way, WordPress should notify you of the theme update. If you are still not seeing an update warning after an extensive period of time, please let us know.

Thanks guys for all your hard work, I think with these additions to Divi you created something really special. I enjoyed working with the first iteration but the second one I believe can really be ET claim to fame.

I would truly love to have this theme. What I love about this theme is the fact that there are already pre-made layouts that can give you a head start before you can actually customize and configure it to your liking/needs. I would love to use this theme to build my upcoming (fiction) writing site, as well as rebuilding my portfolio.

I would love to explore the vertical navigation! It provides a different feel for the user. The secondary menu gives more options to improve the user’s experience. Can’t wait to try these new features!

Nick, you and your team ROCK!! There are features in this theme I have created in the past or even bought for other websites. Such as the filterable portfolio. I was about to have an early night, then I got the email about 2.0 thought I’d have look. Now I think i’ll be up all night trying out the new features.

This…is…..insane…. I have already made a handful of awesome sites with Divi and I read about some of the upcoming features for Divi 2.0, but this is insane!! This really has become the single best WordPress Theme ever, VERY good job!

Oh and I just have to add, for anyone that hasn’t signed up for an ElegantThemes account yet: this Divi 2.0 theme alone is worth the yearly/lifetime charge, let alone all the other themes and continuous updates.

Wow, just wow! Everything I wanted and found lacking in Divi 1.0 is included in 2.0 and more. I can’t see building on any other WordPress platform. Why would you? Elegant has just clearly become the industry standard WordPress framework and forefront leader with Divi 2.0!

OMG! My kids say I sound like I am watching the fireworks at the festival – that’s how excited I am about all these great changes – you guys did AWESOME …. I can’t wait so I’m off to play with this incredible theme – thanks so much for being so great, My clients are already happy and these new updates are just over the top – keep up the great work! Leah

Just for the record… great job guys, the new version is awesome, the drag and drop builder keeps getting better and better, the specialty row type takes our creativity to a new level, and the new modules will be very useful. Many thanks

Just launched my new company, http://www.timberridgemedia.com using Divi and upgraded to 2.0 today to take advantage of the new features! There are a few bugs to work out, but overall I love the theme!

Oh my god, I love you guys so much! Thank you to all who have worked so hard on Divi 2.0. I’ve been following the countdown clock and am just thrilled reading the blog about all the new features. This theme is a dream to work with. Thanks again everyone.

There are a ton of great features. Saved sections. Full width menus. I think my favorite thing is the landing page. Looks fantastic. So many times that I need this but implementing it was just a disaster. Now with Divi landing page I won’t be afraid of landing pages

I noticed you fixed a few bugs as well mainly one big one for me was page templates not functioning correctly.

I checked the Change log “Many bug fixes and CSS improvements”, It would be great to get a follow up blog post on the bugs that have been fixed as well, those are a fascinating to read, yeah I know I’m weird!

I’ve been with you for 2 years, this theme(framework) is truly your biggest and greatest achievement. Please keep working on this theme rather than creating a new one. What some of your customers are not realizing is that this theme can create almost any theme you have released in the past. At the rate you are going you will be able to create any theme.

My suggestion to deal with people complaining if ever anymore about new themes would be to release new template layouts that emulate a new theme running divi.

I truly love that you have sucuri test your themes, that is where it really matters too.

Hello! I am loving divi. Just did the update but now there is a number 5 showing up on every button text in my opt- in boxes and can’t figure out how to get rid of it!! Also are all those letter C’s suppose to be in all my page builders? Help!
Thanks,
L

I am loving the new features in 2.0. There are plugins I have I installed on my sites that I can delete cause 2.0 already has it I nicely integrated. This will save on having to update plugins. Can’t wait to start using the new version.

I created my website with DIV theme, working on modules, layouts is so much easier. Now i manage my website on my own and without spending anytime on learning codes and design. your work on theme made my work very easy.

Divi is such a great product but I really have to congratulate you guys on how well you market it. The pages that explain what it is and how is works are easy to understand/learn while the video tutorials are fantastic. It is so easy to use and looks custom. Job very well done!

Most real estate agents in my area have the same cookie cutter websites but I really feel mine is very unique thanks to Divi 2. http://BobRoman.ca

Bob, your site is incredible. I recently built a real estate site with WordPress and I was very limited as to what themes I could use since so few offer IDX integration. I’m curious, how did you integrate IDX with Divi?

Thanks. I didn’t implement IDX directly into Wordpess. The links for listings go to an external site which provides VOW listing access. A virtual office website provides ALL listings, not just those brokerages that opt-in to IDX. When I looked at IDX plugins, the search functionality was limited.

I was just thinking I need a theme like this (I plan on building 5 new websites in the next couple of months), and was considering another 3 options until I got the email that you released v2.0 . This release just made my choice a lot easier. One theme that makes a lot of different layouts is the perfect way to go.
Great job guys!

Very well done guys! Being more of a front-end designer (with good CSS and html skills but almost zero PHP), this theme is just so fantastic to get creative with. Every Divi site I build looks completely different.

Finally!!! Divi 2 is here! I can’t wait to try the new features! Thanks guys! One con though: the newsletter module needs more integrations. Not only mailchimp and aweber. If not integration with all solutions (getresponse, constant contact,…) at least an customizable option for ‘other’..

Amazing job, Nick. Again. Add me to the happy customers for a long time (being grandfathered into the back-then lower annual is just the icing on the cake, I’d pay the new prices happily). Loving it. Only thing I noticed is that the Customizer doesn’t seem to refresh (Chrome Beta) when you make changes, but that is easily worked around with save/reload in a different window.

I guess I no longer have an excuse not to update all my websites that are currently using old ET themes. Have never been this excited about a new theme before. Would love to try out the portfolio templates!

One thing I don’t understand though – Why aren’t the info/contact top nav items clickable? I want people to just be able to click to call and email. Any chance of adding this as an option in the next update?

After upgrading and the first hypes and kudos yesterday… I only got one thing that totally bugs me… why you change the buttons design to a borderline?… it works on dark background so it catches the eye but on light background not so much… an option to give buttons an individual color would be great… after all they are the most important not to miss if you want to sell anything on a website.

Otherwise I am over the moon with all the new features and options. Thank you so much!

Wow, I’ve just spent the last hour reading through all of the new improvements to Divi…then I went back and reread them all over again just to be sure I wasn’t imagining things.
Will all of the features available to us, the future of design is unlimited. Just think of the possibilities!

New Divi 2.0 is awesome guys! Thanks for the extra work you guys put into it. Every plugin I was using, that I really didn’t like anyways, is now in the trash. There is no excuse for anyone not to use this theme. It simply destroys all other wordpress themes.

Loving everything at Elegant Themes, and especially now with the new Divi 2.

I have one question regarding the “Builder” plugin – that can be used with other themes. Was this ET plugin (the Elegant Page Builder) updated as well, to include many, most or all of the new features that are now available in Divi 2?

What I love about elegant themes… is I am NOT a designer. I’m just a guy that is interested in this. I quit my job recently to set up my own web design business PURELY based upon Divi and its themes. I tried other themes Like velocity on themeforest… and they didnt compare. Page load speeds were SO SLOW on other theme sites.

I’ve just finished the first page of my 1st website for a client in Divi 2.0…. I’m blown away utterly by its power.

I love this theme and am using it in a few websites I’m building. I have a question, however. After updating the Divi theme today, I’ve noticed there is a “U” instead of the magnifying glass icon for the search bar. Any idea why this is and how I can change it? here is the website I’m building: http://www.highergroundoflight.org. Thanks, and, incredible, incredible work! Elegant themes continues to surpass and inspire!

I’m liking the improved gallery options so that I don’t have to install a gallery plug-in, and I also like the new accordion module. This continues to be the best value in WP themes above all competitors. Your dedication to the craft is admirable.

Hello, congratulations for DIVI2 is really nice and functional. Certainly will use it as much as possible for my blog magiaslab.com. I wanted to know where you can find good movies to be added as a background similar to those in the demo Divi.
Hello and thank you keep it up

What a wonderful surprise! Just about to start a new project and now I have the most powerful theme on WordPress. Can’t wait to use it . Looks like all the issues I had before have been solved. Great work guys! Keep killin it!

This sounds fab! I noticed that the social media icons header customisations I had made have disappeared.. but hadn’t realized that it may be because of the new code. Going to try this all out later! I love Divi! Thank you!

Hi
I joined ET near on a year ago just as the 1st version of Divi was being launched. I chose the developer option as I still thought it was cheap.

My background was no html or css skills just an eagerness to learn how the platform wordpress worked as I had numerous websites that needed updating.

I installed Divi and began playing from the top down. I have a preference for full width sliders, not fancy ones just standard jpeg slides. I went on to the forum as i did not know what sizes i should be using and I was given various sizes from various support ops. There were a lot of other people asking the same question as slides were being cropped and not showing the full size of the slide which meant heads and arms were missing.

Over the next few days I tried every conceivable size but nothing worked where the entire slide was showing despite the screen res of the machine I was using.

It was obvious that the support ops had to much going on with lots of other bugs so rather than keep waiting I moved on to that other place (lots of trees) to see how I faired there.

I wasn’t concerned about money I just wanted to get on.

After a few misfires I found a theme I was comfortable with and like Divi it had its own built in slider module.

With this theme it did not matter how big or small your slider graphic was as it gave you 2 extra options with full width slider

1. Original Width x Original Height
2. Stretch image to fit

So if I created a Jpeg slide 1500 x 400 pix and my screen res was 1920 it would stretch to fit keeping all of the slide image visible

Over the last few months I have spent $600 or more on separate licenses for that theme as it did everything I wanted it to.

I always came back to ET as I enjoy Kevin’s blog posts and I could tell that sooner or later you guys would come good. I don’t want to have to spend all that money on licenses if I don’t have to.

I had hoped that the new release of Divi would have sorted this issue out with the slider but I have just installed it, placed the same slider image in and the result is the same. Cropped.

Here is the example of the theme I have been using. See main slider image

I have not checked yet but is there a way now for the entire slide image to be shown and not cropped?

With the theme I am using it makes no difference what size the slide image is because if it is to small it will stretch the width and height and if to big it will re-size the width and height proportionally

This can be fixed with custom CSS. I had a similar problem with a site (http://www.cooperandnotts.com), so I had to add custom CSS to change the default “auto” entry called in style.css.

But without custom CSS, you can play with the image to have empty space above and below so the image doesn’t get cropped at certain resolutions, but this might be a problem when sizing down the site to mobile devices. So your best bet is custom CSS.

IDEA & COMMENTS BELOW EVERYONE:
If this is the quality of ‘next level’ work from the team at ET, then I would love to be the first to say… could we have another level of payment service from $69 per year to a ‘Pro Premium Platinum Account’ for $97 which would:

1. Fund another hire for your team to get Divi 3.0 on track for a 6months release.

I love the vertical navigation (huge help to differentiate between sites that I’ll use Divi on) and the WooCommerce implementation is big. This update really makes the possibilities with Divi endless. Thanks guys!

Thank you so much for making an exceptional theme even better in Divi 2.0… I’ve been learning this theme by using it, but it looks like I’ll need to learn it again with all the additional options, and that’s fine by me! I’m working on the final stages of a site right now, and the client asked for some small changes, which I thought might be CSS additions, but now see that might be options instead.

One small issue I’m finding this morning as I test out some of the new options is that the filterable portfolios are showing all categories, whether I have them checked or not… I’ll work around it for now, but thought you’d like to know.

i’m not argue divi 2.0 has great development web design and for all the themes Elegant have great seo friendly structures, i’m still using the corporation theme, and my other web using divi 1.9 it gave higly conversion to business, cant wait to try divi 2.0 !! and for all the elegant development and support team great Job

Big thank you to whomever decided to make the header menu less complicated and css friendly. I’m sure there were reasons for the complexity of the previous setup, but it is so much easier to tweak the menu now! It’s way more intuitive now… much less digging through classes to affect the proper CSS.

The only problem now is I have to debug several sites. (add updated css, remove extraneous css)

Anyways, thanks for this seemingly minor update that many may have taken for granted!

I don’t have much WordPress experience, but have used Divi to build my video website http://www.gravitysportsnetwork.com. The one challenge I have, I want to show the videos in a portfolio style grid layout and I have not been able to do that. Will Divi 2.0 provide me with this grid style?

I did this website http://thebellesorelle.com using 3.8 and it looks amazing. I can’t contain my excitement because of so many possibilities and the money I can save for using DIVI as my main platform. No more buying themes and platforms.

I am a former Elegant Themes member and I let my subscription expire because instead of fixed templates I wanted a theme with more customisable options and bought Canvas – but Divi has seriously changed my mind, it looks more flexible and easier to customise – easily worth the subscription on its own.

Just updated the site I’m working on and haven’t found all the new features yet but didn’t have much time today either. I guess I’ll be back to ask if I can’t find the options I was looking for! Hopefully won’t be much longer before I redesign my main site with Divi 2 but have been too busy with other things

Really like all the new & upgraded modules…and the post formats. I know you’ll be focusing on newer things now…but the ability to use the Page Builder on Posts is a feature many of us would LOVE to have! Nice work ET!

has ePanel been updated in Divi 2.0? It is the one thing I hated most about your themes and as much as I liked using Divi 1.x, I was able to do a lot of similar things with Enfold in a similar drag and drop style, but I want to use Divi again, yet I HATE the ePanel that was out for it at that time. I will renew my membership if ePanel is updated… here’s hoping since there was no mention of it.

I moved to Enfold 6 months ago when Divi 1 kept cropping my slide images regardless. I have always wanted to come back but have since found that Divi 2 still crops slide images. Enfolds built in easy slider does not do this. It is pointless me checking out anything else about Divi if this issue is still the same.

While it may have been an elegant solution at its inception, I find it’s layout and design somewhat clunky. While I see the need for an area dedicated to options dedicated to the theme, I feel that it could be organized and stylized a bit better. I’m finding that some of my favorite plugins have adapted a less is more attitude towards their control panels and it has really worked well. They have made their plugins to look and feel like another piece of wordpress. It creates a much more simple and seamless experience. I think epanel could really benefit from some similar tweaking.

Bottom line… epanel feels clunky and outdated and it would be nice if it fit in with the aesthetics of the wordpress core panel.

PS – I really do love DIVI. I think it is one of the best themes out there. Especially for the price. I just thought I’d offer some honest feedback.

Amazing Work. The most important tool to build WordPress webpages. For me the elegant builder and it’s ease of use is the best part and allows me to build the first version of my pages easily and quickly

had a great time reading through comments and looking at all the new features, but…
when I try to view the demo on my iPad 2, I don’t see any of the animations. For example, the numbers above Lines of Code, Divi Modules, WordPress Themes, Espresso Drinks. The graphics below the headline: Our Most Advanced Page Builder Yet.

On my iPhone 4S, these animations show up… eventually…. like a lot later.

Both are running iOS6.

I’m concerned about using these kind of animations on my business site if they’re not going to be viewable by many customers.

I see here a lot os stuffs that are been made by developers and companys all over the world for the last year, everything combined, remixed and more beautifull, nice! Let’s see how much sucess he will make.

To say “I am speechless”, to say “I am in awe” is not to say anything.
Am I excited? Am I overwhelmed? Am I happy?
Quite a few years ago I have fallen in love with one girl (her name is… not Divi) and in about 6 months I have felt that I truly love her.
About half a year ago I have fallen in love with another girl – Divi (1.0) and now I feel that that feeling had risen to hew heights. I have never felt that way towards anything web-related in my life, but Divi has something to love and cherish – its charming beauty.
I cannot thank you enough for the most beautiful and useful web creation on the web. I am filled with joy and enthusiasm.
Thank you Nick and the whole of ET Team for all that you do!

P.S. Out of all the new additions and features in the Divi 2.0 – a huge thank you for the Landing Page and Vertical Menu options

I really appreciate the additional menu possibilities.
It is much easier to use it with WPML and languages switch options
I love the box layout and the contact bar, and the possibility to build landing pages is just great.

Favourite part of Divi – due to frustration with earlier version header inflexibility it has to be the ability to move the header and menu. Landing pages a re a huge plus which allows so much flexibility in design and calls to action or even for Thank You pages. Don’t need a third party tool to do landing pages now !! Finally the ability to import and export indivdual page designs for repetitive static pages across various sites is a big plus. Have to get my sites up and running as I want to promote this as a one stop shop for building wp sites.

I am amazingly impressed by the work that you have done with Divi 2.0 It has some of the features I really wanted before, such as the posibility to change the color of the menu or such as using Divi to make landing pages.

I did that job using custom CSS in ePanel, but now there is a simplier way with Divi 2.0 ¡WOW! I can’t believe it…

It seems like you had read my mind!!! Seriously folks… Congratulations! Since I started using Divi, everything is lots easier than never.

I’ve been using Elegant themes since 2012 and you guys just keep on raising the bar. I’ve tried several other premium theme brands but no one gives so much value for money, awesome features, and unsurpassed support.
Thanks!

This recent version of Divi is an excellent toolbox for any designer, taking so much of the complexity and headaches out of ever expanding web technologies. So far Divi 2.0 has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and has been one of the few times a web product has excited me and so quickly ignited my imagination.

A real product with craftsmanship you intuitively feel and immediately respect the work that went into building is a much needed breath of fresh air.

You guys are developing something special here, I wish the elegant themes team will keep the fires burning bright for all us old school designer refugees trying to make sense of today’s wild west. Thank you all!

I have used several ET themes….& love them! I haven’t used Divi…..yet! But have looked at it closely…cannot wait to try it for a new client. I love the extreme amount to versitality it offers….so many options!!!!

Thank you so much Elegant Themes you guys truly are amazing. I/we have been waiting for this update for a while and now our wait is finally over. We really do appreciate the time and effort you put into delivering us high quality themes for use to use.

We have spent a lot of time getting our website looking great at http://www.vividclouds.co.uk using Divi 1.0 – 1.9, but now that 2.0 is out we can’t pass up the opportunity to utilises the new feature set.

We have one question which I’m not sure has already been asked and if it has I apologies for asking again, but does Divi 2.0 support multisite?

Again thank you for producing such great themes from all of us at Vivid Clouds.

I am still building the site that is listed above using the DIVI theme and I can’t stop talking about it. I love the flexibility I have and the way it looks makes everyone think I have spents days and weeks building this amazing site. We plan to launch in the next few weeks and I can’t wait to hear the feedback.
To me DIVI has made building sites so much easier. I love the way you can customize each page and the PageBuilder is my new best friend. How the heck do I get that in the other sites I build with other themes? I just upped my membership to Lifetime Membership today because I don’t want to miss anything new that comes out regarding DIVI or several of the other themes available on Elegant Themes.

I’m not familiar with with Divi 1, but this Divi 2 looks like it does provide many possibilities. The many different modules look like they could be a real time-saver. Image gallery and simple landing page design are two that got my attention. Looks promising!

I’ve started working on a new project and I did think of one thing that would make Divi 2 even better – if there was a section that could be “RANDOMIZED”. Like, if I had a background video, I could put three different ones in that section and it would rotate or randomly play one of them each time the site was visited.

Would be nice for portfolios too, but I find a lot of times I have so much information that deciding what to put as the top spot is difficult, being able to rotate or randomize the outcomes would be a real boost.

Wow! Divi 2.0 looks amazing. I think it’s going to be the answer to one of my current projects. I’m so excited about it and am so grateful I found Elegant themes. I love the themes, the blog, and the support has been so amazing. It really makes life easy for a newby like me. Thanks so much!

Divi has changed the way I look at website design. I have 4 different sites all being constructed with Divi and the domain above is just one of them, actually a buddy of mines site but the farthest along. I need the 2.0 upgrade in a bad way to get everyone upgrades!!! Keep up the great work! I cant wait to see how you all top Divi….Im sure it will be another game changer!

As a WordPress consultant and designer, I am always looking for ways to streamline the design process. It’s also important to work with quality theme companies that have high standards for their products and customer service. Your company has demonstrated this with the Divi theme. I have built two sites already and will be creating many more using this theme. Thanks, Elegant Themes, for creating this easy-to-use, highly professional WordPress framework (yes, it’s more than just a theme!).

Something I think would make a great video tutorial (and may already exist – you guys have put out a lot of educational material about Divi, and I haven’t absorbed it all… Yet. would be if someone went step by step and showed everything that you did to create the theme demo page – here, we use this module, enter these settings, etc.

It remains, in my opinion, the most “game changing” theme in all of WordPress Land, and I’m still as excited as I was when it was announced. Thanks.

I liked the earlier Divi because it had very pleasant tones and a neat layout. The banner was also awesome. But I am even more excited to use Divi 2.0 mostly because of the Divi Builder. I will be working on a site that could really use the duplicate element feature for its modules. I also really like the header and layout options. I’m always having to customize my headers to fit in logos and icons, and the backgrounds to match the color schemes of what the websites are for. Images of course can be a pain as well. And of course, it has to be responsive. These are just my favorite parts. I think the contact form could be more attractive. Otherwise I really like Divi 2.0.

i love the idea that you can basically drag and drop and make the pages look however you want. after experimenting, i can see there will be a bit of a learning curve – i’m so used to the old way the ET panel worked – but i can also see that it’ll be worth it!
